Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

A new multi-pronged antibody design could help immune cells receive stronger activation signals against cancer. Researchers ...

The IGFL2 gene encodes a cytokine found in primates, which are closely related to humans. In the joint tissue of people with rheumatoid arthritis, peripheral helper T (Tph) cells express IGFL2, which ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

Higher levels of CD4-positive naïve T cells in patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma are associated with ...

CD4 T helper cells help the body fight infections by signaling other cells to attack germs. Without enough CD4 T cells, the body can't fight diseases like HIV and becomes immunocompromised. HIV ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign molecules from invading bacteria and viruses from molecules that are made by cells of the body. If it can’t, the immune system can ...
